Did anyone get their period while pregnant?

here's my story. My breasts started hurting (badly) on May 13th. Enough for me to be concerned about a pregnancy, so I took a test on the 19th or 20th, it was negative. All was good in my world.

Well my breasts continued to be sore and I got what I thought/think was my period from the 22-27th.... and though my breasts were still sore, I was still in my happy negative bubble :) So from the 28th until today I've been spotting, just with wiping and also staining a pad.... enough for my brain to be like "thats really bizarre", and still have sore breasts... so why the hell not take a pregnancy test and set my mind at ease... right???

Yeah, so not what happened today. Not only was it "FUCK YOU" positive, now I'm completely bewildered as to if I actually had a period or if i've just been bleeding for the last 2 weeks. I plan on calling my MD tomorrow morning but in the meantime I just wanted to freak out a little on here... thanks for listening.

It felt like my normal period. since it "stopped" i've gone from light (just on the paper) spotting to staining a pad. still not heavy, not bright red and no cramping, but it's getting more constant/heavier daily.

if it's bright red, you need to go to the ob/gyn. you could be having a miscarriage.

Probably a miscarriage. If you start bleeding very heavily like soaking pads then go to the ER. If it's just regular period bleeding it can turn into like spasms & you may pass clots. If it's not massive blood then nature is just taking care of it. I had a few myself. I only had D&C's when the bleeding continued on & off for a few weeks.

I'm not sure that I'd automatically go to miscarriage, only because I've met women who do have some bleeding during their first month and do just fine. I still think you need to go to see your doctor to rule anything out.
